nix install trampoline
Did you muse about building a nix(-static) binary trampoline into m?
It might be attractive marketing to hide everything nix away from the developer to address the issue that the average developer feels very reluctant to accept a (perceived) "niche" binary on their system.

I'm gonna give it a look, having people to install Nix yields to errors in a few cases, for instance someone once installed a daemon-based nix without adding its user to the trusted-users configuration
"Just works" is the kind of experience we all in the nix community should try to achieve

Yesterday I watched a few people talk on non-nix platforms. Now I understand exactly this concern, and it worries me too
Seems we can compile a statically linked nix: nixpkgs.pkgsStatic.nixStable
Solving this issue has the potential of increasing adoption beyond the niche
It is also currently rather difficult to install nix on aarch64-darwin (apple M1), specifically to get the store set up.
